Palmeiras does not want Flamengo to move away, and for that, they must win, and that is what they did at home against Juventude. It was a 3-1 win for the Verdão, who are second only one point behind the Fla.

In a week with many headed goals, the Argentine José López could not miss and opened the scoring in the 49th minute. To the surprise of many, the visitors were to equalize in the 64th minute after a throw-in and two headers in the area, the last by Erick Farías.

The new star of the Brasileirão, 17-year-old Estevao, who has already signed for Chelsea, put Palmeiras ahead again with a left-footed cross, while Mayke made it 3-1 in the 83rd minute.

That makes five consecutive victories for Abel Ferreira’s team, while Roger Machado’s club is in 12th place with 13 points.
